Per 610 sports. They are on a rampage about how Willie Roaf, coming off of an injury, is ready to play while the Chiefs are holding an opinion that Warfield isn't ready to step on the field. This is complete garbage. Vinny Testaverde, who is 42 and out of football, can come in on one week of preparation, and lead his team to a win. But Warfield, who has had the opportunity to be at Arrowhead and be at all of the defensive/position meetings, isn't ready to go.

I'm not sure who to be pissed at here. Is it Vermeil taking a stance ala Joe Gibbs with Lavar Arrington, or did Warfield turn into a couch potato with his month away?

How did Warfield look in practice? Good route recognition? Physical condition still peak? Good, clean jams? Sliding off blocks properly? No problems with the 2 guys he's never played with before and the one playing a new position? I assume you saw practice since you know he's ready to play...

True. But like I said, I find it amazing that Roaf can come back off of a bad hammy and be ready to play the whole game while being gone almost as long as Warfield (an extra week of practice, and half of one quarter played). And not even to mention the whole Testaverde thing.

If this is all on Warfield, then he's probably played his last game here. Surely his last season.

He'd probably die of a heart attack at all the money we'd lose if we won the Super Bowl. Good thing he's saving a bundle by not winning one. I mean, failure is so much more profitable than success.

I heard an interview earlier this week where Warfield said that he wasn't sure he was even going to suit up this Sunday.

I also heard on 610 a while ago that it all depends on whether Stills is healthy and can play as to whether he dresses for the game or Warfield does. And, Chris Horn is also supposed to be out and Boe is in.

It doesn't matter who is out there, I'm telling you, the 10 yard cushions aren't going to stop when Warfield comes back. Gun is doing it because the pass rush is so putrid.

It doesn't matter if we were lining up Ty Law and Deion Sanders in their prime, with a pass rush this poor, we're going to get chewed up through the air. Even those guys would have had trouble covering their man for 10 seconds on every down. Old age will get to the opposing QBs before our defensive line will.

I don't like it, I think we should blitz and create pressure somehow, but instead Cunningham has elected to pretend to be Greg Robinson instead. Talk to him about why we are playing 10 yards off the ball.

Not kissing up, but there are a number of people who have posted with as much insight as Kietzmann and Whitlock. It's all supposition at this point. The Sunday trade deadline is an influence, Warfield has been under the influence, and CP is doing what he does best: using the bye week to keep DV's perspective remote.

Maybe having to change his life style has messed up his head? There could more to it then just his availability.

They're saying why didn't Warfield hire a QB and a couple of receivers to help him practice after he finished in the weight room and the rest of the team went out for practice. Of course they don't know that he didn't do this either.

If you checked in here during the 2002-2003 seasons Warfield caught as much criticism as Bartee.

Warfield has shown improvement, but if he has regressed at all, the truth is, what he would regress into would not be all that special.

He did in fact get punked by the scrubs in the 4th quarter of pre-season games not too long ago.

I hope that he is the same player on the field that he was last year, but it is funny how he went from an overly criticized goat to Hercules HOF'er in 2.5 years.

As in any business, damaged goods go for less. I just see a lot of similarity between Edwards' play and Warfield's play.... Edwards was a CB for the Eagles under DV. Lot of strength in the fabric that includes Edwards, DV and CP; HE was a coach for us in the early 90's.

Yeah, I can imagine HE taking EW for less money, eventually, and making something out of him.

Just some intuitive (random) thought....

Have you seen Dewayne Washington play?

Washington was a 1st round draft pick who has had a career that justifed that selection.

Warfield is a 6th round long term project that cried when Marty made him stay on the field as a rookie, and who, when he finally reaches his peak after years of patience and a generous contract that he recieved before truly proving himself, gets his umpteenth driving while drunk off his azz conviction.

Washington has not been any clear liability for the Chiefs in the games played so far.

I just heard all this discussion on 610 too. I can't believe it. We, the fans, wait all season long for this guy to come back after his suspension and his first week back and the team plans to make him inactivate? It doesn't make sense. And I agree with others here, Warfield would be better than Washington at any level of play.

I heard an interview earlier this week where Warfield said that he wasn't sure he was even going to suit up this Sunday.

I also heard on 610 a while ago that it all depends on whether Stills is healthy and can play as to whether he dresses for the game or Warfield does. And, Chris Horn is also supposed to be out and Boe is in.

Oh yeah, FredEX has been in town this week working out for the team.

I think that much is pretty certain. I'm pretty sure we're not getting the whole truth here, and we probably will never know. I can see DV being too overprotective because really all Warfield has done is play 3rd string all season... and he struggled with that, I can see him being afraid to throw him in the fire against 1st stringers because he's conservative like that. And I can also see Gunther saying "He let us down, f*** him, I don't need him." This is still the same Gun who puts a lot of value in the little things, or big things, that happen off the field... he didn't want Carl to sign Hartwell because he thought he shook too many hands when he came for a visit. So who knows...

I really hope you don't think old Dewayne is good anymore. He's a 32 year old corner with declining speed. The Jaguars last year had to completely restructure their defensive scheme to protect him.

By the way if you watched the Jets game when he actually got on the field as a corner, he's a serious liability.

I also agree that it's time for Vermiel and this coaching staff to go. I'm tired of all of them, time to start fresh after this year.

KCTV5 Metro Sports report was very entertaining last night. Vermeil, when asked about potential changes to the offense: "That's ******* stupid. Do you think I'm going to telegraph our offensive plan to the Redskins? Why the **** you think this is a closed practice"--(OSTL)

Nice indication of how stressed out he is. The barometer indicates a lot of fog.

Ah, what a difference a bye week makes...

CrazyHorse

10-15-2005, 07:18 AM

In listening to Vermiels press conference I heard nothing that would indicate that Warfield would be inactive.

Vermiel said that he (Warfield) has done everything that he could do to get himself back on the field. Said the start would not be handed to him. But went on to say that his focus was excellent. He is where he should be in his personal life. And that he if nothing else would be involved in some specific packages on Sunday.

Has there been any specific word from Vermiel that has stated that Warfield is out for the game? Or is it just speculation from the media?

If you would like to listen to the above reference it is around the 10 minute mark in his (Vermiels) press conference.

Every news outlet in the city has reported that he is going to be inactive for the game. Unless they're trying to pull a giant charade with everyone, it looks like it's a done deal he's not playing this week.

Tough to understand the reasoning there. I dont pretend to know the extenuating circumstances. But it would appear that something has changed from the time that the press conference took place and the time Vermiel declared him inactive.

As a season ticket holder, it seems as though my money will be spent punishing players for mistakes they have already paid for. If this is the case, it is a profound disappointment.

As the folks that pay the bills, it would seem that we are due a better explanation than he is the extra corner. Because we all know that's bullshit.

Considering they walked out on the Eagles game, it's less a prediction and probably more of a given. The fans are getting tired of it. And it's starting to show in the stands.

It's one thing if it's the best we can do. But to be told that there is nothing wrong with the defense, and that they played a great game with no mistakes every week......well.....insults our intelligence.

This most recent move negates the signing of Surtain. I wonder when the fans will be deserving of seeing our best players on the field.

CHIEFS NOTEBOOK: No go for Warfield

The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs told cornerback Eric Warfield he would be inactive for Sunday’s game against Washington at Arrowhead Stadium.

Warfield, a starter who missed the first four games because of NFL suspension, not only was unable to oust Dexter McCleon from the starting lineup, but he also couldn’t beat out nickel back Benny Sapp or dime back Dewayne Washington.

“We just don’t feel quite confident yet that he’s ready to go play corner on the Santana Mosslike players without a little bit more work,” coach Dick Vermeil said.

Warfield didn’t appear pleased with the news, though he said nothing incendiary, and said he was ready to play.

“But that’s the coach’s decision,” he said. “I’m not going to sit around and complain about it.”

His chance to play on special teams disappeared Friday when linebacker Gary Stills, a standout in the kicking game, made significant progress with his shoulder injury. Warfield would have suited up Sunday if Stills were unavailable.

First off, screw Warfield. Screw him for putting himself and the team in this situation.

Second, Warfield seems to be rolling over a bit with the media. "It's the coaches decision ... I'm not going to complain." I'm sick of apathetic defensive players. The D still has no identity. I want a decent veteran like Warfield to step the f up. I want to hear "I want to play, I want to prove myself and this defense. I've kept in shape. Play me." They need some fire. Warfield rolling over leaves me wondering if he actually is in shape.

Third, screw Vermeil. Warfield played well the last two years. I don't know why the Chiefs gave him limited snaps this past week. Put him out there. If he can't keep up, tell the fans he's in crap shape. Put the pressure on him.

NaptownChief

10-15-2005, 09:29 AM

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if high and might Vermeil doesn't completely turn on Warfield and leave him inactive the rest of the season barring injury. Not sure what the ramifications and league rules are around contract issues and the suspension but if he is guaranteed his full salary for being on the "opening day" roster then they won't cut him and let some other team have him but if due to the suspension his salary isn't guaranteed then I also wouldn't be shocked if Vermeil cuts him.

Vermeil will dog house a guy like Warfield while he runs over and gives hugs and sheds tears for a murder like Lenard Little who learned so much from killing a women that he continued to drink and drive.

Vermeil is quite strange in how soft he is to some people then ridiculously hard to others like Larry Johnson and what looks to now be Warfield.

Chiefs could work out Warfield during his suspension, so if he's not in shape, then what the hell they been doing with him.

Warfield could attend meetings during his suspension, so if he's not up to speed on the game plan then what the hell have they been teaching him.

the chiefs control the number of reps a player gets in practice, so if Warfield hasn't gotten enough reps to play in a game, then what they hell were they thinking during practice time.

if we struggle in coverage because Washington/mccleon can't man up with a Washington receiver this week, then what they hell were they thinking about how they dealt with Warfield.

looks like a self-inflicted wound to me

Vermeil better not talk about how "it hurt to not have Warfield for the game" as an excuse for the defense not playing well against the deadskins.

i think it could be very heavily influenced by that.

surtain is a very good man-to-man guy .... but an average zone guy

Warfield is also better at man-to-man

McCleon is a zone guy

with McCleon starting, Surtain is forced to play to his weakness instead of his strength. With McCleon starting we are playing a defense that doesn't suit anyone on our defense except him.

weakest link dictating our defense.

It's very possible that having Warfield on the field could change the entire look and attitude of our defense. Not because he's a pro bowl cornerback, but because he suits the defensive personnel/scheme.

i expect the entire defense to be much more aggressive when we have two man-to-man type cornerbacks in the game.

Your right Gaz, as of now, this team has many more problems to worry about than just McCleon/Warfield. The whole team is not playing well at all on either side of the ball. The only improvement i can see so far is that tackling/Run defense and the kicking game is better than recent seasons. As of now, unless we suddenly grow a pass rush, give Green some protection in the pocket, get a steady run game going, get WR's to stop dropping the ball, and stop the stupid turnovers, this team aint going anywhere.

It doesn't matter who is out there, I'm telling you, the 10 yard cushions aren't going to stop when Warfield comes back. Gun is doing it because the pass rush is so putrid.

It doesn't matter if we were lining up Ty Law and Deion Sanders in their prime, with a pass rush this poor, we're going to get chewed up through the air. Even those guys would have had trouble covering their man for 10 seconds on every down. Old age will get to the opposing QBs before our defensive line will.

I don't like it, I think we should blitz and create pressure somehow, but instead Cunningham has elected to pretend to be Greg Robinson instead. Talk to him about why we are playing 10 yards off the ball.I think this is directly related to Vermiels obsession with stats. I have heard him talk about "not giving up the big play." To him it is almost like a turnover and "teams that don't turn over the football win more times than not, statistically speaking."

He more than likely has given Gun an edict, "No big plays dammit, I don't want us giving up big plays. Do what you have to do to prevent that."

So Gun looks at his talent and is making the only decision he can make from within that paradigm.

The Offense threw away the Eagles game.

If the Offense vanishes again, it will not matter who is playing CB.

Inept Offense [multiple turnovers, questionable playcalling & inability to move the ball or protect Green] cost us the Eagles game. Not the Defense.

Warfield Vs McCleon is not nearly as important as pass blocking, run blocking, getting Gonzalez the ball or mixing up the playcalling.

Spend your time and bandwidth worrying about Roaf & Gonzlez rather than McCleon & Warfield.

Doubts that Roaf will be on top of his game after sitting out so long.

I am not just talking about the Eagles game, although I think 31 points(7 on ST) does not make an offense inept. Your comment reminds me of Vermeils statement that Roaf made the defense play poorly which I think is BS.

We did not bring Gun, Surtain, DJ, Bell in to play a soft zone. That is what has cost us games this year and last.

GAZ speaks the truth!

As long as Vermeil is HC, this team will never be a Dominating defensive team. This team is supposed to win with offense and they carry the bulk of the load. Thats where all the "Big Money" on this team is. The defense is supposed to just hold its own. We may not like it, but thats the way this team is built. If the offense fails, as it has many times over this season and last year, this team will simply not win many games. We simply arnt built to win games 10-7, 17-10, 13-10. Thats not how this team was constructed like it or not.

Wrong. Outside of one quarter, the offense has been abysmal the last two games.

Hey not sure if this was brought up in the 12 pages that I did not read...

PER NFL.COM

Warfield, the only productive cornerback Kansas City's had for several years, had to sit out the first quarter of the season for violating the NFL's drug abuse policy. Vermeil, though, made it clear Dexter McCleon, not Warfield, will be the starting right cornerback on Sunday.

"Chances are he'll be active this week, but not in a starting role, but (in a) special teams role and a backup role or maybe a limited package role," Vermeil said.

I said this year and last. For the Jets game we employed an agressive D and it worked. Other than that I see no difference between this years D and last years soft zone.

I would rather have had Surtain take TO man on man and then Sapp (or McLeon) take there other WR man on man and blitzed an injured McNabb.

Does anyone really believe that the game will turn on whether Warfield or McCleon plays CB?

It could if the Skins play like they did against Dallas where they were heaving bombs to Moss in the 4th quarter.

It's not so much that he's better than McCleon. He's at least better than Dwayne Washington. Say Surtain gets hurt again and Washington gets burned repeatedly. DV will have no excuses.

Chiefs Offense Vs Redskins Defense will decide this game. Roaf is back, but is he really ready to play at his former level? Will Gonzalez be freed from blocking duties so he can catch some passes? Will Black play better at Right Tackle? Can Johnson hold onto the ball?

Warfield Vs McCleon is a secondary issue [heh, I made a funny].

Gaz
A lot more concerned about the Chiefs’ Offense.

I know this, we didn't spend all that money on Surtain to replace Warfield.

I dont have a problem if Warfield doesn't play if it's justified. However, being told that he is simply an extra corner is hardly an acceptable explanation to why he wont be in there.

I also take issue with the posture Vermeil takes about him being "handed" the position. I believe he has earned the position. I dont feel like Mcleon has ever distinguished himself the better of the two corners.

It would seem on the surface that you haven't been witness to some of the shootouts in the past.

Yes, Warfield can be the difference in the game.

One thing that I am convinced about, is that Washington is much too PC to continue with the name, "Redskins". Remember the Washington "bullets" of the NBA?

How about a nicer name, like the "Congress", or the "Lobyists"?

I can dig it. Washington Congress are going to bottle us up in committe, woo hoo, I am so scared. They are really gonna kick our ass.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make here. Are you claiming that the Offense did its job against the Eagles?

Groping for common ground.

I think his point is, regardless of the offenses inability to do it's part, the fact remains that the secondary also didn't do it's part.

Yes, turnovers played a big part in the loss.

But this was a total team failure.

If the defense could have held the Eagles to a couple of FGs and a couple of TDs after those turnovers, instead of giving up 28 unanswered points, that game could have had an entirely different look.

To lay the blame entirely on the offense, and the turnovers, is too simple.

The fact is, this defense is just as bad now as it has been since Dick took over.

The points were “unanswered” because the Offense vanished.

“On the back of a milk carton” vanished.

The Eagles did not drive the length of the field against the Chiefs Defense. They were gifted with exemplary field position by the Offense.

No, the Eagles loss belongs to the Offense. Hall gets an honorable mention for coughing up the ball on a return. Other than that, the O owns it all.

They did hold them to one FG after one of the TOs. Our D was playing decent until the O started giving the other team extra chances. But you're right Owens has been shut down by every secondary he's played except ours.

It'll be interesting to see if he's actually inactive today or not.

I highly doubt it's a swerve move, I expect him to be inactive. Now if he's inactive next week and then following weeks. You can basically chalk this up as "Vermiel is pissed at him". Gotta love the team basically hurting itself to try to send some stupid message.

keg in kc

10-16-2005, 12:58 AM

We don't even know it's Vermeil that's pissed at him, assuming that anyone is. The 'message,' if there is one, could just as easily be coming from the front office as the coaching staff.

If there is a message, it's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. You don't bench a starter to prove a point, not at this level. The message you send to a pro is to cut him and replace him. Not playing a game-ready player to prove some psychological "point" would be cutting off the proverbial nose to spite the proverbial face.

Considering some of the things we've some from Vermiel and this staff, would it really surprise you?

No. But it also wouldn't suprise me if Warfield played.

What I really don't get is the reasoning we were given late in the week, that Warfield will be in streetclothes because Stills is back. What the hell does one have to do with the other...

Mecca

10-16-2005, 01:16 AM

Because for some assinine reason Vermiel is viewing Warfield as the "5th corner" or "extra corner". Basically saying the only way he had a shot to play this week was if Stills was out he'd take his spot on special teams.
